Philip Craig made a suggestion: http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=120338413108120&w=2
to use this:
If not debugging, guard #define wrapper_printks with if (0). The gcc optimizer removes the printk but gcc still does printf argument verification.
There are many other debug printk wrappers
#ifdef DEBUG #define printk_wrapper #else #define printk_wrapper printk #endif
that should be converted as well.
